Vanilla Apple Muffins-the light sprinkle of sugar on top of these muffins is the perfect complement to the tart apple.
This is not my recipe, I saw this post from Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms and I knew immediately I was going to make these. In her recipe she used pears but I had Granny Smith apples on the counter.
And I had some Pear sauce still left in the cabinet. These were fast and easy to make. And 4 out of 5 in my house preferred these muffins over the chocolate muffins I also made the same day, including myself.
The granny smith apples gave that tart bite and the rest of the ingredients gave the sweet, but not too sweet.
Just the perfect combination!
